Huawei launches SmartWatch.

HUAWEI, the world’s
second-largest telecom equipment maker, made a splash last night by launching
its first smartwatch, just weeks ahead of the highly anticipated launch of
Apple Watch.

The Chinese telecoms giant unveiled
Huawei Watch, a sleek 42mm round-faced watch that works in conjunction with
Android smartphones to bring notifications and apps to your wrist.

“We have responded to
consumers’ requests from around the world asking for a smartwatch featuring a
timeless design that is truly smart from within,” said Huawei Consumer Business
Group chief executive Richard Yu.

Huawei doubled its smartphone
shipments last year, propelling the group to become the world’s third-largest
smartphone maker.

Next Monday Apple is holding a
“Spring Forward” event in San Francisco where it will likely reveal more
details for the launch of Apple Watch in April.
